The Chrysochroinae are a group of jewel beetles whose antennae have pores distributed over both surfaces of the segments rather than being concentrated into a ventral depression. Members include the heavily sclerotised Palaearctic and Oriental genus Capnodis whose members include a number of pests of fruit trees (Bouchard 2014).
